‘The International Comparative Legal Guide to Data Protection 2014’ – Spain Chapter

ICLG presents the first legal comparative guide published on data protection regulation worldwide. 

Data is the lifeblood of today’s digital economy. The rapid expansion of digital commerce means that frequently data is a business’ most valuable asset. Yet the risks inherent in data, and the differing regulatory requirements around the globe, make it challenging for businesses to manage data risks in consistent, practical and cost-effective ways. Businesses that think strategically about the creation, development, use and security of their data are able to increase the value of these assets, and often enhance their reputation.

Organisations that fail to take data protection compliance seriously, or fail to manage their data assets strategically, risk being left behind.
